JAN SWINBURNE (CAN)
Swinburne is a Canadian visual artist whose interdisciplinary practice makes use of traditional and digital media.

An experimental approach to art is central to her practice. As a video artist, Swinburne’s interest is oriented to meta-exposure and the cultural and political implications of image degeneration. Swinburne's work manifests in the form of music/video-painting. Swinburne has contributed drivingDRONAGE (06:10) for QU25.
